TERRA 527: Climate Change in the Caribbean – Part 3: Taking Action

Produced by Kate Lain & Andrew Sobey

Synopsis

The most important thing to remember when it comes to climate change is that you can help, and there is still hope.

The series combines animations and footage from Trinidad with explanations from climate change experts from Trinidad & Tobago.
